Burton was on the team's list of inactives for Monday Night Football . That alone isn't shocking, though, as he was inactive for the first three weeks of the season after a minor injury in the preseason and the sudden emergence of Mitchell Tinsley as a breakout player.

But Baby's report adds extra context that is fresh and paints a broader picture of what might be going on with and around Burton.
Last year, Burton ran into trouble with the team that got a callout from Joe Burrow and others , among other issues. That, after the team used a third-round pick on him.
